If she wants a future with him, she'll have to make peace with her
past. Jenna's never let her cerebral palsy get her down. But when
she discovers that her condition was actually caused by an injury
at birth, she's furious with her parents, who withheld the truth.
And as they push her to get yet another difficult procedure, Jenna
feels her control over her life starting to slip. Enter Julian,
Jenna's childhood crush. He's just moved back to town, and he's
struggling in school, so Jenna reaches out to him-anonymously-to
help. Soon, their conversations are about so much more than class.
She's falling for him all over again, hard and fast. But would
Julian still be interested in her if he knew who she really was?
And can she find a way to take back her own narrative before she
pushes away everyone she loves? Also by Stacie Ramey: The Sister

My Autism Book is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps
parents to explain an autism diagnosis to their child in a
sensitive, positive and accurate way. When a child is diagnosed
with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), parents often feel
overwhelmed and uncertain about how to communicate the diagnosis to
their child. This book is designed to be read with the child as a
simple introduction to their diagnosis. Written by a doctor and a
children's author, the book is tailored precisely to the needs and
experiences of the child with ASD aged 5-9. It explains what an
autism diagnosis means and encourages an exploration of the child's
likely strengths and differences using clear language that speaks
directly to the child. The colourful pictures throughout show how
the world looks from the child's perspective and the book ends with
a summary checklist to encourage the child to record and discuss
how autism affects them.
From Carnegie winning author, a coming-of-age novel about
friendship and loyalty across neighbourhood lines - illustrated by
award-winner, Akhran Girmay. A lot of the stuff that gives my
neighbourhood a bad name, I don't really mess with. The guns and
drugs and all that, not really my thing. Nah, not his thing. Ali's
got enough going on, between school and boxing and helping out at
home. His best friend Noodles, though. Now there's a dude looking
for trouble - and, somehow, it's always Ali around to pick up the
pieces. But, hey, a guy's gotta look out for his boys, right?
Besides, it's all small potatoes; it's not like anyone's getting
hurt. And then there's Needles. Needles is Noodles's brother. He's
got a syndrome, and gets these ticks and blurts out the wildest,
craziest things. It's cool, though: everyone on their street knows
he doesn't mean anything by it. Yeah, it's cool . . . until Ali and
Noodles and Needles find themselves somewhere they never expected
to be . . . somewhere they never should've been - where the people
aren't so friendly, and even less forgiving. 'A funny and rewarding
read.' Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review 'Fiction with heart . . .
unexpectedly gorgeous.' Booklist 'Moving and thought-provoking . .
. defies readers' expectations.' Kirkus

farm appears off the island's coast. With the help of three school
friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a
sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to
experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the
government's secret test before it spins out of control...
